Consistent --program-prefix for GNU programs

Some of our GNU ports use a --program-prefix of gnu:
findutils
gnutar
gnumake-devel
gsed
indent
while others use g:
binutils
coreutils
diffutils
gmake
gpatch
gtime
gunits
gwhich
libtool
libtool-devel
m4
It would be nice to have a MacPorts' standard here and it looks like changing
the gnu to the g ones would be less work
I'd also like all of these ports to have a variants to disable the
program-prefix. Currently, only diffutils has a variant named 'normal', which
is not a good name in my opinion. I'd like to see a variant named
no-program-prefix.
What do people think?

Blair
